The effect of temperature on the activation energies of mitochondrial enzymes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was examined. Non-linear Arrhenius plots with discontinuities in the temperature range 14-19 degrees C and 19-22 degrees C were observed for the respiratory enzymes and mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) respectively. A straight-line Arrhenius plot was observed for the matrix enzyme, malate dehydrogenase. The activation energies of the enzymes associated with succinate oxidation, namely, succinate oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase and succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, were in the range 60-85kJ/mol above the transition temperature and 90-160kJ/mol below the transition temperature. In contrast, the corresponding enzymes associated with NADH oxidation showed significantly lower activation energies, 20-35kJ/mol above and 40-85kJ/mol below the transition temperature. The discontinuities in the Arrhenius plots were still observed after sonication, treatment with non-ionic detergents or freezing and thawing of the mitochondrial membranes. Discontinuities for cytochrome c oxidase activity were only observed in freshly isolated mitochondria, and no distinct breaks were observed after storage at -20 degrees C. Mitochondrial ATPase activity still showed discontinuities after sonication and freezing and thawing, but a linear plot was observed after treatment with non-ionic detergents. The results indicate that the various enzymes of the respiratory chain are located in a similar lipid macroenvironment within the mitochondrial membrane.

A cross-sectional study was carried out to examine the activities of certain enzymes representing aerobic and anaerobic energy metabolism as well as the biosynthesis of collagen of M. vastus lateralis in 23 male endurance athletes in habitual training, aged 33 to 70 years. 23 sedentary healthy men of corresponding ages were selected for the control group. The mean maximal oxygen uptake of the trained subjects was 53.6 ml-kg--1. min--1 and that of the control subjects 36.3 ml-kg--1. min--1. As compared to the control group the trained subjects had significantly higher values in the muscle malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and prolyl hydroxylase activities, whereas the opposite was true in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase. In hexokinase and creatine phosphokinase no marked differences between the groups were observed. The results showed that endurance training leads to increased activities of oxidative enzymes in the skeletal muscle. The adaptation changes were also observed in old men. The increased activity of prolyl hydroxylase may reflect the general enzymatic adaptation to physical training. A possibility exists that the turnover of muscle collagen in endurance athelets is continuously faster than that in sedentary men of corresponding ages.

A method is described for the preparation of spheroplasts in high yield from Schizosaccharomyces pombe, by treating cells grown in the presence of glucose and deoxyglucose with snail digestive enzymes. Gentle disruption of such spheroplasts yielded homogenates, from which marker enzymes for nuclei (NAD pyrophosphorylase) and mitochondria (cytochrome c oxidase activity and spectroscopically-detectable cytochromes a + a3) could be quantitatively sedimented by low-speed centrifugation. In contrast to previous findings with Saccharomyces carlsbergensis, cytochrome c oxidase and another mitochondrial enzyme, succinate dehydrogenase, were completely sedimentable by zonal centrifugation in sucrose gradients in the presence of either 2 mM-MgCl2 or 0-4 mM-EDTA. Mitochondria were apparently smaller and of lower buoyant density in gradients containing EDTA. The bulk of the total units of malate dehydrogenase and NADH; cytochrome c oxidoreductase sedimented with mitochondria, whereas NADPH: cytochrome c oxidoreductase was located in fractions containing no mitochondria. The distributions of mitochondrial enzymes were heterogeneous in populations of mitochondria separated on the basis of size or density. The possible origins of mitochondrial heterogeneity in extracts of S. pombe are discussed with special reference to changes in the enzyme activities of cells during the cell cycle.

The effect of various chloroactive compounds containing equal amounts of chlorine on respiration enzymes was studied in the spores of Bacillus anthracoides 96. These compounds inhibited the activity of malate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and aconitase but stimulated the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Therefore, the action of these compounds is rather specific, and the inhibition of the activity of some enzymes is one of the factors causing the sporocidal effect.

Studies were performed in the activities of certain enzymes from oxidoreductase group: cytochrome c-oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.3), succinate dehydrogenase succinates: cytochrome c-oxidoreductase (EC 1.3.99.1), cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) and malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) in mitochondria from neuronal and glial-enriched fractions. The mitochondrial fraction purity was observed by the electron microscope. The enzyme activity of the glial mitochondrial fraction was much higher than that in the neuronal mitochondria. Malate dehydrogenase from glial enriched fraction consists of three isoenzymes, while neuronal mitochondria had two isoenzymes of malate dehydrogenase. The neuronal mitochondria were found to be more stable to lubrol and digitonin.

A model of steady-state hypocitricemia, characterized by hypocitraturia and reduced kidney cortex citrate, has been demonstrated in the rate chronically exposed to environmental heat. The renal citrate extraction ratio remains unchanged. The physiological mechanism that brings about the reduction in circulating citrate has not been determined. Hypocitraturia likely results from a decreased filtered citrate load. Although it is generally contended that filtered citrate load. Although it is generally contended that alkalosis increases and acidosis decreases renal excretion of citrate, observations of mild alkalosis and hypocitraturia during heat exposure suggest that factors other than pH can alter renal handling of citrate. Kidney mitochondrial function, as determined by in vitro measurements of citrate-stimulated respiratory rates and specific activities of isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, and cytochrome c oxidase, appears to be unaffected by environmental heat.

Oxidoreductases were studied histochemically in 162 cases of neuroectodermal tumors. In order of decreasing activity in the cytoplasma these enzymes could be arranged as follows: NADH diaphorase, lactate dehydrogenase, NADPH diaphorase, glutamate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase. The weak activity of Krebs cycle enzymes and the relatively strong activity of other oxidoreductases, particularly of lactate dehydrogenase, permits to conclude that glycolysis prevails over oxidative processes in neuroectodermal tumor cells. But this should not be interpreted as a decrease of the Krebs cycle enzymes in astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma cells as compared with their parent cells because the latter themselves display a weak activity of these enzymes. A real decrease of Krebs cycle enzyme activity was established only for tumors, the parent cells of which are characterized by a strong (in choroid-papillomas) or moderate (in ependymomas) activity of these enzymes. Many neuroectodermal tumors, in particular those of astrocytic origin, demonstrate a certain correlation between the amount of cytoplasm and oxidoreductase activity. This results in enzymatic polymorphism of the tumor tissue. A certain similarity was established of the oxidoreductase activity in tumor cells and in reactive hypertophic astrocytes. This indicates that both tumor cells and reactive astrocytes may in certain conditions utilize similar mechanisms of increased metabolism. The oxidoreductase activity correlates not with the grade of anaplasia but with different directions of anaplasia reflected in different variants of neuroectodermal tumors. The concept "anaplasia" includes not only certain degrees of dedifferentiation of tumor cells but, as it has been shown histochemically, also an increase of metabolic processes in the tumor cell cytoplasma.

Yeast mutants deficient in the constitutive ADHI (adc 1) were used for the isolation of mutants with deficiencies of the intermediary carbon metabolism, and of mutants defective in carbon catabolite derepression. Mutants were recognized by their inability to grow on YEP-glycerol and/or on ethanol synthetic complete medium. They were either defective in isocitrate lyase (ic11), succinate dehydrogenase (sdh1), or malate dehydrogenase (mdh1, mdh2), mdh-mutants could not uniformely be appointed to one of the known MDH isozymes. Homozygous mdh and sdh1 diploids are unable to sporulate. Three gene loci could be identified by mutants pleiotropically defective in many or all of the enzymes tested In ccr 1 mutants, derepression of isocitrate lyase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, ADHII and possibly of the cytoplasmic MDH is prevented, whereas the mitochondrial TCA-cycle enzymes, succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase, are not significantly affected. CCR2 and CCR3 have quite similar action spectra. Both genes are obviously necessary for derepression of all enzymes tested. It could be shown that ccr1, ccr2 and ccr3 mutants are not respiratory deficient.

Experiments were conducted on rabbits. A study was made of the activity of the redox enzymes--glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), NAD-and NADP-diaphorases, cytochromeoxidase (CCO), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH) in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus and the posterior lobe of the hypophysis under conditions of stimulation and removal of the superior cervical sympathetic ganglia. There was revealed a correlation between the activity of the tissue respiration enzymes (SDH, MDH, NAD- and NADP-diaphorase, CCO) and the functional condition of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial neurosecretory system. However, the enzymes of the pentose-phosphate (G-6-PDH) and glycerophosphate shunt (alpha-GPDH) and also of the anaerobic way of oxidation (LDH) reacted nonspecifically on the induced effects.

Activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDG), isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase was found in the extracts of the cells of Bac. polymyxa 153, an organism producing polymyxin B. Dependence of the activity of the above enzymes on the carbon source in the medium, aeration conditions, strain features and culture age was shown. A low level of polymyxin B biosynthesis was observed at high activity of PDG and dehydrogenases of the tricarbonic acid cycle. Increased antibiotic production was recorded against the background of decreases values of the above enzyme activities.
